This website is dedicated to a wonderful singer and her many fans. Martha's
music has stood the test of time and she is, in person, a delightful lady to
know.

I really started enjoying Big Band/Swing music in 2000. My folks listened to
it as I grew up, but it wasn't until June 2000 that I fully appreciated it
myself; now it's the only music my wife and I listen to. That eventful day in
June was the "World War II Weekend" at the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum in Reading,
Pennsylvania. At this event, the Air Museum held a Swing dance in the evening;
my wife and I became enraptured with the music and swing dancing.

As we began seeking places to listen to and dance to this great music, I
purchased a CD released by the History Channel, titled "Till Then." Along with
other selections, this CD included the song "And The Angels Sing" by Martha
Tilton.

I fell in love with that song and wanted to find more recordings by Martha.
I soon laid my hands on two CDs featuring Martha, "The Capitol Years" and
"Standard Transcriptions." I found that Digital Music Express and XM Radio had
Big Band/Swing channels and started to listen in, discovering that Martha was
featured regularly. I was in heaven, a heaven occupied by that angelic Martha
Tilton.

Of course, I started checking the Internet for information on Martha and
found bits and pieces scattered over thousands of web sites. Through this
search, I became extremely interested in her career and life. I became a
regular buyer of her recordings and memorabilia on eBay. I have collected every
CD, record, movie, tape or piece of memorabilia I could find. From this
treasure trove, I have included three magazine articles you can read in this
site; these really give an idea of her personality.

In December 2005, I met Rex Strother, a Tilton fan who had built a website
for his two aunts, "The Bell Sisters" of early 1950s fame. I was impressed with
his site and the information available there. I suggested it would be great to
do something similar for the neglected Martha and he immediately agreed that we
should work together on it.

You will not only find information about Martha's career, but through
contact with and the help of Martha and her daughter and son, we have been able
to include personal information about her and her family.

Also contained herein is a discography that I assembled, chronicling over
300 song recordings Martha made during her career. We've included a biography,
as well as her thoughts on various subjects, including her favorite recordings.
In the Guestbook, we would especially appreciate knowing your age to help us
determine the age of her fans; we believe her music is still being discovered
by a younger audience.

If you have anything you would like to add to this site, we would love to
include it. Contact us electronically and we will help you get it entered.
Likewise, all questions will be answered promptly and to the best of our
knowledge.

We hope you enjoy this site as much as we enjoyed putting it together for
you, her fans.

This site is made possible by the efforts and interest of
Tom Oehme, Nate Oehme, Rex Strother, Lars Schinnerling, Robert Nickora and
Martha Tilton Brooks. Thanks to you and all the Martha Tilton fans out
there.
